The internet package is somehow compressed, but the "download manager" masked it from view. I would have thought the DVD package would be built the same way for the sake of the DM. "But, what do I know, I'm just a tourist?" SAS-proprietary as opposed to "tar" OR "zip"? If not, it could just as easily be "tar" as "zip", or even uncompressed, couldn't it? If only I'd thought to ask and learned sooner that "jar" *unpacked* "zip" files (and not just processed them for it's own purposes)... D'OH... I tried creating "tar" or "pax" on Windows to no avail. Come to think of it, if the OP has any MVS "zip" software (Ascent, Data/21, etc.), wink and a nudge, eh? Still, it's a whole lot more harder than it need be... I agree entirely: SMP/E sure would help not only the SD processes, but fix management, too.
